The Use of Information Systems in a Modern Cytopathology Laboratory
Abstract
Over the last decade, cytopathology laboratories wishing to achieve an automated and seamless workflow process, to diminish turnaround times, and to improve their diagnostic accuracy have successfully adopted information technologies and automation. New types of cameras and microscopes connected to computers made possible image capture and transmission (telecytology). New innovative information technologies, including e-health and telemedical applications, constitute a valuable tool for interlaboratory collaboration and quality improvement. New applications are expected to enhance the opportunities for improvement in the field of cytological data management and sharing. In this chapter, the authors emphasize quality management concepts applied to cytopathology laboratories and the application of innovative information technologies in a modern cytopathology laboratory wishing to establish an effective quality management system and meet all current requirements concerning all aspects of its routine workflow (personnel, premises, environmental conditions, equipment, information systems and materials, pre-examination processes, examination processes, and the post-examination phase).
